LELO SHARES NEW SINGLE “POT OF GREED”– VIA 10K PROJECTS
Following his performance last night at Underground Sound‘s SXSW Floating World Fest alongside xaviersobased, Nino Paid, and Benji Blue Bills, New Detroit rapper Lelo has just released his new single “Pot Of Greed” — out now via 10K Projects along with an accompanying Montreality DVD video. Produced by Tony Seltzer, “Pot Of Greed” is a sleek outing punctuated by blasé, self-assured bars that showcase the rapper’s unique penchant for meditative bravado. The track arrives on the heels of recent releases “Kudos” and “A&G” as well as his Sade-sampling single “Main Event”, which was praised by The FADER, Notion, UPROXX, and VIBE and earned him a co-sign from Earl Sweatshirt. The song also follows a recent co-sign from Pi’erre Bourne, an On The Radar performance, and a string of releases, including breakthrough anthem “No contempt” (25M+ Streams) and his December EP When It’s Over. Bolstered by the Tokyo-shot “Evangelion” and “Real Dogshit“, the project is a lush display of the rapper’s lux, trap-inspired sound that has quickly become synonymous with the New Detroit movement he’s proudly carrying the torch for.
After turning heads in the Detroit regional scene with singles like “Hughes” (2M+ Streams) and “Daybreakers”, Lelo released his long-anticipated debut project Nightingale last spring and has since garnered attention for standalone releases like “No contempt”, “Limbless” (6M+ Streams), and “Yoppenheimer” (5M+ Streams), as well as his four-track EP LifeAfterDogShit. Recent months have also seen him play to a sold-out crowd at Bktherula, skaiwater, and Yhapojj‘s Detroit tour stop, perform with Che at Zicmade’s NYFW after party, and earn co-signs from the likes of LUCKI and Brent Faiyaz.
